Tip#524: Where Does Your Drive Come From? – John Carter

On Thursday and Friday I experienced an unusual surge of energy and was extremely productive like I used to be in my first business as an illustrator. I hadn't done anything out of the ordinary to increase my drive so I liked to believe it came from the full moon on Thursday or the high solar flare activity in the news that same day.

Whatever is fueling my drive I welcomed it! I actually loved stirring my imagination that the solar flare activity was sending solar storms to Earth to energize my body and mind. I imagined I was a battery and the sun was recharging me on such a high level! And the photos I've seen of the solar flares are amazing.

John Carter (2012)

The science fiction movie John Carter is based on the Edgar Rice Burroughs series of novels about a former American Civil War captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) who is mysteriously transported to Mars known as Barsoom by the inhabitants. Carter encounters all kinds of exotic species and cultures and discovers he has increased strength and the ability to jump extreme distances. See: movie trailer

Seeing Carter use his new jumping powers was so much fun. This movie magically transported me as well to an entertaining world for 2 hours. There's also a romantic story here! And though this film reminded a lot of Star Wars and Avatar I knew it was because the John Carter books inspired these movies in the first place. James Cameron, who wrote and directed Avatar, has said his film was inspired by Burroughs' John Carter books. His drive came from stories written 100 years ago!

Passion for movies, books or even a dream or goal can fuel one's drive AND positive emotional energy. What drives you? Where does your drive come from? Identifying the source can help you remember key resources that can increase your drive when you feel lost or stuck. Remember your resources and then you'll recharge your batteries and move forward with enthusiasm AND confidence!
